Lovely decor and atmosphere as is expected for castle rising area, had a lovely cuppa and why the brownie wasn't anything good or something I recommend (in this case thr toffee crispy brownie), the aforementioned atmosphere makes up for this . Prices are reasonable.

Came here for a roast dinner after so many recommendations from friends and family and it really was one of the best! Delicious, the meat (Lamb) was cooked to perfection and the variety of vegetables were just right. Gravy was so flavoursome. We’ve been here for breakfast recently which is also very good but the roast really was even nicer! Will definitely be visiting again soon. All the staff are very friendly especially Charlotte who is very welcoming and bubbly.

First time visiting Castle Rising Tea Rooms and just popped in for a coffee and tea cake. We were made to feel very welcome and were introduced to the staff. Lovely atmosphere, great cup of coffee, we will be back soon to sample the breakfast.

To be honest; it was an overall terrible experience. Not what I would have expected from the previous reviews and genuine expectation within a lovely area of West Norfolk. Went for a lunch with family for a birthday celebration and it was a disaster from start to finish. There was nowhere to park clearly and the signs did not make sense at all. There was nowhere for us to wait and order properly and we were always in the way of other diners and also staff. The staff were not helpful at all and we were placed in a very squashed corner of the room where there was 4 of us wanting lunch. When we were moved they moved us into a place where it was awkward to move in and out and also the table was wonky and the chairs were on their last legs. In regards to the food itself; honestly it was by far the worst meals we have had in a long time; 2 of us ordered the Sunday roast (pork) and 2 of us ordered Lasagna from the special board-which should have come with garlic bread but did not and they were substituted with chips; which was not a huge deal but communication of this change would have been appreciated. Alongside this; once we had ordered; we had the 2 specials come out within 10 minutes but then the roast dinners took a hour to come out! When we did get them the lasagna was not even a lasagna; rather a pasta bake; and the roast dinners had been overcooked, burnt and was not at all warm. The service in itself was extremely slow and we were only offered a free dessert for the hour wait which was unacceptable in my eyes. I really hate hating on local restaurants and cafes but I am beyond disappointed with this place; considering the amount of previous positive reviews and recommendations offered. Will not be coming back unless there is a serious over all of the entire cafe and food.

Very disappointed with jacket potato today ordered a plain one that was to be served with salad. With a coffee it was £11.90. The potato was microwaved up from pre cooked and tasted accordingly. The salad was just a garnish and no dressing was offered until requested. I can see very mixed reviews and think I agree that there’s room for improvement

6 of us had afternoon tea today. Lovely staff, very efficient and friendly. Great food, great sarnies, huge selection of small cakes and 6 scones, jam and cream, glass of fizz and lovely tea/coffee. All served in a pretty garden. It was a good end to our weekend in Norfolk.

Disgusting! Five of us arrived (including two hungry little girls aged eight and five) and we ordered food – nothing fancy, just sandwiches, chips, a salad and a jacket potato. We were told it would be 20 minutes, which was fine. Three-quarters of an hour later, with no sign of anything on the horizon, the lady who ordered went inside to be told our order had been (and I quote) ‘forgotten’. She was offered either a refund on the food (which was impractical, since the little girls were by now extremely hungry) or a promise of the food in ‘five minutes’ and complimentary drinks. We were forced to take the latter option, although it doesn’t take a genius to work out that the management would still profit from this arrangement, given that the drinks consisted of a can of John Smiths and two cans of pop, no doubt bought cheaply from a wholesaler. Ten minutes later, the food arrived. The chips were hard in the middle, and the salad (which cost over £14) consisted mainly of lettuce, with a few desultory prawns thrown in and bread, instead of the expected chips. The baked potato appeared to have been prepared in a crematorium. All in all, a classic example of a prime spot catering establishment taking advantage of a guaranteed clientele to rip people off and offer awful service. I’d add that most of our party were from New Zealand. What a wonderful impression of British hospitality – NOT!

We popped into the area rooms for a small lunch. The setting is beautiful and we sat in the garden that has a number of picnic tables and umbrellas, we had a dog which was warmly welcomed. We ordered a Brie and bacon sandwich which we hadn’t had before and it was absolutely lovely, it came with a side salad and crisps. We also had some cake which I believe is made on site, again it was lovely. I must say I’ve never been one for “Tea Rooms” but I would definitely return here. Food, staff, setting, welcome were all brilliant. Well done ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Humpand2 (55 reviews) Norwich, United Kingdom Very greasy breakfast. The plate was swimming in grease, the hash browns were not drained before serving, the eggs were overdone and hidden under a mass of baked beans, the sausages were deep fried. I had to pat my bacon on napkins to drain the grease off before I could eat it. A very expensive breakfast ( to eat 1 slice of bacon and a piece of toast ). I would not recommend!!

Got there, around 5 pm. Asked for directions prior but could hear a girl in the background asking what the **** was that about. Offered the full menu but at 10 minutes in the same girl appeared told me they were shut and tried to get me to box all of my meal up and drink my tea fast. Obviously this was alarming and hurtful and nearly spoilt a nice afternoon out.

We arrived at around 4 pm placed our order and sat outside We paid in advance and then we waited The tea room was virtually empty and the lady who took our order was engaged in a lengthy discussion with a couple on the next table about places of interest for them to visit Half an hour later our tea had not arrived the lady was still entrenched in conversation with the couple next to us so I went to the cash desk and the 3 or 4 people in the kitchen said they had not received our order so I asked for a refund Eventually the waitress was summoned who then privy to blame us for not finding out what had happened sooner They bought us out teas and charged us half price no friendly chats nothing the scone was the size of a dinner plate It’s a shame and I don’t understand why they were so disrespectful to us

Usually a really welcoming experience, whether with a group of friends or a family meal out. However there’s been a change of staff, and the lady now front of house on Saturday 23rd is in the wrong job. Absolutely zero customer service skills. Blatant rudeness. Order food, while paying, lady walked off. When drinks were brought to the table, creams were thrown down. All in all, a real dampener on what is usually a fantastic place to meet friends.

Planned a walk from Sandringham to Castle Rising & back. Phoned en route to confirm what time they would be closing & we were told 5.30pm. Arrived at 4.30pm after walking over an hour & we were told they weren’t taking any more orders. Really disappointing! Feel like they could have said this when we’d phoned. I could understand if we turned up 15-30mins before closing time but an hour should be ok.

Terrible customer service, staff were rude and too busy standing around chatting with eachother loudly to serve people or prepare food and drink. People were waiting ages just for a cup of coffee. You can also see staff members eating their lunch in the kitchen at the same time as preparing food for customers, without wearing gloves or stopping to wash their hands before touching peoples food. Clearly not worrying about basic hygiene or the risk of cross contamination.

Popped in after our visit to the Castle.We were amazed at just how busy this tea rooms in a little village was on a very wet and dreary late October afternoon! Although busy , the staff were attentive and polite ,offering a couple of table options . It was explained that once we had made our choices from the menu ,we were to head up to order and pay … this is clearly written on the menus too ! Our lunch came to just over £20 and was fresh and delicious, the bread and filling of the sandwiches were good quality the latte excellent and pot of tea for one was plentiful and despite being a tea bag ( as opposed to leaves) in the pot it was a good strength . All told , we were glad we popped by!

We have visited this lovely tea rooms on many occasions and have been satisfied with the choice, quality and quantity of food served. However, today was rather disappointing. There was no specials board offering quiche, pie etc so we had to opt for sandwiches. The bread was lovely as always, but very little fillings - two rashes of bacon and the thinnest slithers of Brie - not worth anywhere near the £8.95 charged. The tomatoes and peppers on the salad garnish tasted like they were several days past their best. Definitely not the little gem it used to be.

Booked on the day for a luxury afternoon tea for three people. I was delighted that they were able to offer a table reserved for the time we chose, considering it is bank holiday weekend. The setting is very pretty in Castle Rising and the interior doesn’t disappoint either! Service was perfect, and relaxed so you can enjoy the experience and the staff all very friendly. We feasted on freshly made sandwiches and huge homemade scones, plain, fruit and the cheese scone was served with butter and a delicious homemade pickle! Well worth the visit.

When we arrived the scones were already on the table ! Lack of customer service throughout . Found the staff all lacking in ability to deliver good customer service , training needs looking at ! No one come to take any further drinks orders or ask if everything was okay Room was stuffy and cramped Server brought a hot tea pot to the table and tried to pass this across the table resulting in it spilling everywhere . Think she thought my friend was going to be able to handle it by the boiling hot spout! Should of just walked around the table . Sandwiches were really nice but lacking any sort of cakes other than the scones which was weird when we had booked for afternoon tea . Coffee wasn’t very hot either which was disappointing.

We had been to visit the ruins then walked down to the tearooms, we went in to order and asked for a table, we were told there were none left inside it had been raining and all empty seating outside was very wet I mentioned it was all wet but instead of offering to wipe some down or even give me a cloth to do it they just offered take away...... So we took the hint and will not be going back nor will I recommend to anyone.

Dull Friday during the school term and this place was full. It was a good sign and not wrong Scotch Egg ploughman’s was plentiful, home made scotch egg, pickle, onion, mature cheddar, apple, grapes and salad with option dressing on the side. Mrs had luxury cheese scone which came with a generously filled prawn sandwich. Both meals had home baked bread. Shared the scone it melted in the mouth. Then to tackle desert. Apricot and almond, and raspberry and lemon cake. Shared and both delicious. Washed down with refillable coffee All for £37 - great value.

Wow what a lovely setting We visited here on Bank Holiday Monday having been to The Black Knight Display at the castle It seemed that everyone else at the display decided to visit here as well as there was no food or drink stalls at the display The service was very slow. When our order did eventually arrive it was wrong. The young girl did apologise but it took another 20 minutes to get our order correct and back to our table. The food was of good quality and we were given free drinks for the very long wait. They seemed overwhelmed by the amount of people waiting for a table.

Suggest staff should draw customers attention to track and trace as it is obviously easy to miss.

This is a beautifully decorated tearoom, set out across 3 rooms. There is also a lovely garden if you wish to eat outside.All the staff were very friendly and service was very efficient.The reason I only give 4* is that I feel prices are on the high side for what you get. For example, a tuna sandwich with handful of crisps and salad £6.50 (see pic).

Visited one Saturday afternoon and looked very quaint and inviting. We sat outside and my wife went in to order. I had the baked potato which was very nice complete with salad and two Ramekins one beans the other cheese. My wife had tuna sandwiches complete with salad and crisps. The fruit scones were large and very tasty and the Victoria sandwich was also very nice. The food arrived quickly and the waitress’s smiling and polite. One thing I would suggest during staff training by management is that when food is delivered instead of the staff going back empty handed collect a few of the finished plates etc and this would make the garden far more attractive, clean and tidy.

We stopped in here on a wee tour around Norfolk. Appreciate it’s clearly a tourist area but prices seemed a little high for what you are getting. That said I had a lovely quiche and it was very pleasant out in the garden. It was a shame they were not doing the eat out scheme as there was no other choices for lunch so somewhat spoilt the experience.There are some friendly pigs in the yard behind the tea room which was kinda cool :)

Was visiting the area and came across this tea room . It is beautifully decorated and furnished and has a lovely feel about the place . As we have never been before we were unsure whether to take a seat or we had to be seated . There were staff at the till area , so we waited to catch someone’s eye . As others have commented on other posts , there is a feeling of being ignored as we were hoping that a member of staff would look up and ask if they could help but no one did , so eventually we asked for a table for two . We were advised to take a seat and come up and order . That’s absolutely fine but it would have been good if the staff milling around the till could look up and help customers who are unsure as to what should be done. Ordered tea and fruit scones but they had run out of fruit scones ( this seems to happen regularly as per previous posts ) so we had plain . Scones were very nice and huge , tea was ok but loose leaf would have been more authentic in a tea room . We did enjoy our visit and would come again and hopefully my comments will be treated as constructive.

We ordered the deluxe hot chocolates (although they had run out of marshmallows we still got charged full price) we also ordered fruit scones but they had run out of those as well (at 2pm on a Saturday) so we went with plain. The scones were nice and came with plenty of clotted cream and jam! Whilst we were there we could here the staff giggling and playing around behind the till and in the kitchen. In particular we heard them commenting on another member of their team who was not at work that day, her name was G____.. apparently she does not cover her shifts and doesn’t pull her weight!

My friend had the ham platter and I had the brie and grape sandwich. We certainly weren't going to go hungry as the portions were very generous and it was delicious. We had the pot of tea for two and I was pleasantly surprised - I don't often have tea whilst out because it never tastes right, but this pot was spot on.

We have visited a few times now as we are local. Beautiful setting especially in the summer and my grown up children frequently bring uni friends to give them a typically Norfolk experience. However whilst the setting is good the service is hit a miss. Often tables are not cleared or wiped even when they don’t seem busy and staff could appear more friendly. I think the pricing is fair bit you do expect quality. We had a selection of drinks and cakes the Victoria Sponge my husband thought was excellent my chocolate cake was dry and a little bland.

After visiting Castle Rising Castle we took a walk down to the Tea Room for a light lunch. The menu is very varied with items including cold and hot sandwiches, salads, jacket potatoes, scones, cakes, cupcakes, flapjacks etc. You order at the counter and then can choose to eat inside or outside - we chose outside on this occasion. The coffee arrived very promptly and was tasty but could have been hotter. The sandwiches arrived in good time and had been made to order. We had chosen the cheese and pickle sandwiches which were accompanied by a small amount of salad and some crisps - a little pricey but very tasty. The staff were welcoming, efficient and helpful. It was very pleasant sitting out in the garden. A good experience.

Visited the tearoom after a visit to Sandringhan estate, the venue offers indoor seating as well as a large dog friendly garden which was very very pretty. The food was on the expensive side which is a common theme for this type of setting but the portions were generous, the food was good/average. Searching to find the car park was very difficult and is a walk from the tea rooms. Overall the whole experience was a good one, the beauty of the setting is the highlight and once you’ve finally parked it is worth the trip.

First of all we were completely ignored when coming into the cafe, so we sat at the closest available table. 5 minutes or so, still no acknowledgement of our existence. Husband went to the counter to try and place our order, was again ignored for several minutes. Woman behind the counter finally looked up and glared at my husband but still didn't speak to him! He began giving our order and was told in a very harsh tone to wait whilst she wrote the order down.

Disappointed with today’s trip. The weather wasn’t great, so the place was particularly quiet. Which led me to expect good service.

Not the first time this has happened here but it will be the last as sadly we shall not be visiting again. Visited today for morning coffee and cake and went inside to ask if we could take our dog inside. I waited to ask the staff but was ignored and my wife twice tried to get their attention in the kitchen area but was also ignored as the occupants were more interested in carrying on a discussion about a meal - a T bone steak - they had eaten somewhere else. At this point we walked out and went next door to the Black Horse where the service was excellent and attentive.

My review is so bad that I am going to contact the venue directly. The last time I visited I thought may have been a one off; it wasn't!! On a pus point Vharlotte who worked there was extremely apologetic and do her best to be helpful.

This picture postcard tearoom should have been an ideal spot for a summer lunch. We decided to eat inside in one of the shabby chic furnished rooms. After having to order at the counter in another part of the building we ended up waiting quite a llong time. This should have meant that the food would be freshly cooked. The sausages in the sausage sandwich were luke warm and over cooked - dry and tough as if pre-baked. The promised home made marmalade was barely visible if present at all. We could not see any. The bread, described as locally baked, was dry and industrial even if it had not travelled far. The sole redeeming feature was the little bit of salad which was fresh and tasty. What should have been a tranquil place was further mared by some staff communicating with each other by raising their voices to a disturbing level.

I've over this place since I moved here 9 years ago. It's always been brilliant value & quality. Prices have just been put up a ridiculous amount & the cream tea is cheaper if you buy the items individually. Someone obviously can't use a calculator.

My mother and I always visit when the suns shining and sit in the garden with a cream tea. Delicious homemade cakes are available and the roasts are to die for.

This is the first time I’ve set foot in the tea rooms , what a lovely little place ! The ready of our group had the full English breakfast which was freshly cooked and hot, I had eaten so didn’t partake. The only thing I would say is put the toast on a side plate ! No room for it with the hearty breakfast. The decor is great , staff polite and friendly and all ingredients look to be great quality.

Nice for lunch, very busy inside but as we had the dog we were going to sit outside anyway.

My friend and I decided to meet at Castle Rising Tea Rooms as it is equidistant from each of our homes.

Called in on a dry but cold winters day after visiting the nearby castle. Had our 4-legged friend with us so had to sit outside in the garden. Service wasn't the warmest but was efficient. We had a soy latte, hot chocolate and slice of cake. The latte was too hot but the hot chocolate and cake were lovely. If sitting outside you need to pay upfront, for obvious reasons. Clean outside toilet.

I have been here three times over the course of three years and every time I’m hopeful that things will get better and I’ve just caught them on a ‘bad’ day. Alas, this isn’t true. I’ve vowed to myself that I will never go back here again. Every time I go the food is shocking. The scone I had today - and previously - was rock hard and consisted mostly of glacier cherries. The staff were nice, but inexperienced. The food is reasonably priced but terrible quality. A low-rent cafe masquerading as quaint tea rooms. Don’t do it, you’ll regret it.

We’ve had several meals here in the past but today was our first Sunday lunch. We all had beef...excellent! Everything was nice and hot - 2 generously large homemade Yorkshire puddings, proper roast potatoes, leeks, broccoli and carrot and 2 decent sized slices of beef. The gravy was tasty and the horseradish pleasantly hot!

Visited this quaint cafe for a tea and cake. The cakes are amazing and good value. The place itself is a very like an old fashioned style tea room but offes so much more. We saw the roasts being seved and they looked amazing and looking at what peopleleft,nothing, they must alsobe very tasty. The staff are very friendly and helpful and overall an very enjoyable experience that I recommend that if you ae inthe area topay a visit. It may also be worth phoning ahead if you have a large group to ensure they are able to accommodate you all together. Great food great atmosphere great place

Delightful cottage environment with real food, no short cuts, soppy cut bread - our sandwiches were to die for. Won't spoil the surprise of finding the delicious fillings available (we couldn't choose between two so went halves on each) and such good service. In summer the garden is great for outside eating in sunshine in a real country garden.

Waited over an hour for food. We can see food up on the hot area, we received the food an hour and 20 after. One staff member did say it will be 20 minutes. We received the food, the order was wrong.

Very good value and lovely food and hot drinks. The main reason for my score was the friendliness of the proprietor. She made us so welcome and helped my mother with her mobility issues.We noticed there were several “ regulars “ who were also well looked after.

If you want to have your meal in a kids playground and don't actually want to listen to what your fellow diners are saying above the noise of small children hoovering the floor with plastic Dyson things and screaming all around you, then this is the place for you!! Really poor set up..all it needs is a bouncy castle in the room and you're well away!!! Have kids parties ...fine, but control them ?! In an area not right next to other diners who literally couldn't hear each other speak due to the screaming kids that the parents allowed to run riot! Food was average at best and v small portions for what you're paying... first visit and sadly the last for me

Newly taken over pub. The owner is very pleasant and the price is reasonable. Worth checking out
